„Wildnis“ ruft heute überwiegend positive Assoziationen hervor, ist im urbanen Zusammenhang jedoch erklärungsbedürftig, da sie häufig im Gegensatz zu menschlicher Kultur gesehen wird. Wildnis ist Teil der Stadtnatur, die von einem Mosaik verschiedener Natur-Typen gebildet wird. Diese unterscheiden sich in Bezug auf (a) das Ausmaß der Abweichung von...
In this paper, we give two infinite families of counterexamples and finite positive examples to a conjecture on the minimal genus problem in ℂℙ2 #ℂℙ2 proposed by Lawson [10].

... Ergonomists do not have the control or say, neither over the budget, nor over the people is built for. Organization while deciding the issues that they want to emphasize either doesn't consider the involvement of ergonomics or if they do, they do it quite late in the process hierarchy (Breedveld and Dul 2005;Jenkins and Rickards 2001;Senge 1990). Ergonomics is also considered as tool that concerns health issues and not organizational effectiveness (Preuss 2003) and even the contribution to health and safety is not always acknowledged. ...
... These three journals have the highest 2010 ISI impact factors of the IEA-endorsed journals that have E/HF as the primary focus (Human Factors ¼ 1.458, Applied Ergonomics ¼ 1.105, Ergonomics ¼ 1.416) (Thomson Reuters 2010) and received the highest ratings of perceived journal quality and were the most frequently read in a prior survey of 130 European ergonomists Breedveld 2005 cited in Dul et al. 2005). The International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics was rated fourth in the present study (usefulness) and also in studies by Breedveld and Dul (2005; reading frequency), Dul et al. (2005; perceived quality) and Dul and Karwowski (2004;impact factor). ...
... Further, the Wilson's (2000, p. 561) point that the 'profusion of ergonomics journals' has arguably led to redundant publications. Breedveld and Dul's (2005) survey also found that some journals are rarely read. Question 14 asked respondents to rate the usefulness of E/HF or related scientific journals as a whole to them as an E/HF practitioner. ...
... 'Practitioners should realize that ergonomic knowledge is not an off-the-shelf product but requires continuous education', R441), such as professional development through societies. In a survey of 130 European ergonomists by Breedveld and Dul (2005), ergonomics knowledge was significantly correlated with perceived success. Thus, continued professional development and the learning of current research should help practitioners to maintain the cutting edge of practice. ...
Significant discord has been aired regarding the widening research-practice gap in several disciplines (e.g. psychology, healthcare), especially with reference to research published in academic journals. The research-practice gap has profound and wide-ranging implications for the adequacy of ergonomics and human factors (E/HF) research and the implementation of research findings into practice. However, no substantive research on this issue has been identified in E/HF. Using an online questionnaire, practitioners were asked about their application of scientific research findings published in peer-reviewed journals and to suggest ways to improve research application in practice. A total of 587 usable responses were collected, spanning 46 countries. This article describes some of the key differences and correlations concerning reading, usefulness and barriers to application among respondents, who varied in terms of organisational type, percentage of work time devoted to application vs. research, society membership and experience. Various solutions proposed by the survey respondents on ways to bridge the research-practice gap are discussed. STATEMENT OF RELEVANCE: The relationship between research and practice in E/HF has long been a subject of discussion, with commentators pointing to tension and possible implications for the adequacy of the discipline. Findings from a cross-sectional survey provide ergonomics practitioners' views on research, leading to discussion of strategies for achieving better integration.
